Corrinne May Beautiful Life (from the album Crooked Lines; I bought her CD ^^) Standard tuning (If you want easier chords, Capo 1st fret and F#, Ab, Bbm and C# become F, G, Am and C respectively) Verse 1: F# Ab It's in living every moment Bbm C# Like it could be our last F# Ab For our hearts are restless Bbm C# Till they rest in love's caress And the moments we remember They interweave our hearts Like a tapestry surrounding us That we forget to touch Bridge: F# Ab It's why we wake up every morning Bbm C# It's why we seek each other's smile F# Ab It's why we know that it's all worth it Bbm C#(hold) It's why we hold on, we make the sacrifice Chorus 1: F# Ab It's in the eyes of a child Bbm C# As you hold her in your arms F# Ab Bbm C# And your heart starts to beat once again F# Ab And your world is reborn Bbm C# In the freshness of her song F#(hold) Ab(hold) Smile, it's a beautiful life F# Ab Bbm C# (x2) Verse 2 (repeat the chord pattern): It's in the hope of the poor man As he struggles to make ends meet It's in the laughter of his children As they play in the street Don't need a million dollars To raise a happy child You just need a pair of loving arms And thhe time to make her smile Bridge Chorus 2: F# Ab It's in the tears of a friend Bbm C# As you finally make amends F# Ab Bbm C# And your soul starts to breathe once again F# Ab And the weight of the world Bbm C# Falls away with one word F#(hold) Ab(hold) Smile, it's a beautiful life F# Ab Bbm C# (x2) F# Ab Oh woah Oh... Bbm C# Oh woah oh... F# G#(strum twice and hold) Oh woah Chorus 3: F# Ab It's in the touch of her lips Bbm C# As she leans in for a kiss F# Ab Bbm C# And your world starts to spin once again F# Ab And two hearts become one Bbm C# As a dream is begun F#(hold) Ab(hold) Smile, it's a beautiful life F# Ab Bbm C# F# Ab Bbm It's a beautiful life C# F# Ab Bbm It's a beautiful life C# F# Ab Bbm (fade out) It's a beautiful life Done by ear, hope it's okay. :) Remember, if you have a capo with you capo the 1st fret and use F, G, Am and C instead.
